a/n: ok y'all, just saying, i love cedric diggory. he is perfect.. even better with this character. annalise potter is harry's identical twin, placed in gryffindor, (dw y'all i might post a small backstory)
The heavy oak door thunked shut, the sound echoing through the towering shelves. Cedric let out a soft huff of amusement, a genuine, slightly surprised smile spreading across his face.
âWell, now,â he said, running a hand through his already-messy brown hair, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he looked at Annalise. âLooks like weâve gone and gotten ourselves properly stuck, eh, Leasie?â
There was warmth in his gaze, a comfortable familiarity that always put her at easeâeven in situations like this.
Annalise crossed her arms, a nervous chuckle escaping her. âProperly stuck is putting it mildly, Ced. Harryâs going to have a right fit if I donât get back to the common room.â She could already picture her brotherâs worried frown.
Cedric chuckled, his expression reassuring. âAh, you know Harry. He worries like mad. Weâll be right as rain by morning, though. Just a little unexpected library sleepover.â He gave the door a solid, but not forceful, push. His smile faded into a thoughtful frown. âDefinitely charmed. Old Madam Pince doesnât mess around with her locks.â
They tried the windowsâsealed tightâand called out, their voices swallowed by the immense stillness of the library.
âHellooo?â Annalise called, her tone half-laughing, knowing it was probably futile.
âAnyone about?â Cedric echoed, a wry smile tugging at his lips. But the thick stone walls absorbed the sound, offering no reply.
After a while, Annalise sighed, leaning back against a shelf as dust motes swirled in the pale light from the high windows. Resignation settled over her like a blanket.
âThis is a bit rubbish, isnât it?â she said quietly. âJust⊠stuck here all night.â
Cedric pushed off the window ledge and offered her that familiar, comforting smileâbrotherly, yet somehow more. âCheer up, Leasie. Could be worse. At least the companyâs decent, eh?â He rubbed his arms with a slight shiver, but tried to hide it as much as he could.
After some time, they settled down. Talk drifted from schoolâher latest frustrations with Snape, his quiet pride in Herbologyâto Quidditch, and eventually, the buzz around the Triwizard Tournament.
âThink youâll put your name in, Ced?â Annalise asked, genuinely curious.
Cedric shrugged, thoughtful in that grounded way of his. âHavenât decided yet, Leasie. Itâs a big deal. Exciting, though, isnât it?â His enthusiasm made even the daunting feel possible.
As the light faded, long shadows crept between the shelves, and the chill deepened. Annalise hugged herself, shivering. âWish Iâd brought a thicker jumper.â
âYou cold, Leasie?â Cedric asked, his brow creasing with concern. Without hesitation, he shrugged off his well-worn Hufflepuff sweater, leaving him in his pressed white shirt and yellow, striped tie. âHere you go.â he said calmly.
"No, no, it's alright." she replied.
"Take it. Please?" he asked, a smirk playing on his lips.
Annalise gave him a grateful smile as she pulled it on. The sweater smelled of parchment and something inherently Cedricâa mix of earthiness and warm spice, like autumn leaves after a light rain. Comforting. Familiar.
They kept talking in hushed tones, broken by stretches of companionable silence. Eventually, Annalise yawnedâa genuine, eye-watering one.
âSorry,â she mumbled, embarrassed.
Cedric noticed immediately. He gently steered her to a less dusty spot by the books. âAlright, you look knackered. Try to get some shut-eye. Iâll keep an ear out for rogue house-elves with lockpicks.â His tone was light, but the care in it was unmistakable. He adjusted the jacket around her shoulders. âMake sure youâre snug.â
Annalise murmured her thanks, eyes already closing. Cedric sat beside herânot too close, but close enough for her to feel his presence. He leaned back, watching her drift off, a soft protectiveness settling over him. The moonlight from the high windows cast gentle shadows on her face. He found himself just⊠looking. A fondness bloomed in his chestâmore than friendship, though he wasnât sure what it was yet.
Sleep tugged at him, and as he shifted, his arm naturally fell around her shoulders. She instinctively snuggled closer, her head against his chest, sighing softly. A warmth settled between themâsomething more than just the jacket.
The first pale light of dawn crept through the windows when the heavy oak door creaked open with a groan. Hermione Granger stepped in, her arms precariously stacked with books, brow furrowed in concentration.
She scanned the silent library, expecting solitude. Then she stopped. Her eyes widened. The books in her arms wobbled dangerously.
There, on the floor near a stack of oversized volumes, were Cedric Diggory and Annalise Potterâcurled up together.
Annalise stirred first, groaning softly as she stretched. Disoriented at first, she became aware of the comforting weight over her shoulders, the familiar scent of parchment and that uniquely Cedric warmth. She looked up, her eyes meeting his sleepy brown ones.
âMorninâ,â she mumbled, a soft smile curling her lips.
âMorning, Leasie,â Cedric replied, his voice still thick with sleep. He gave her a warm, hazy smile and instinctively tightened his arm around her. A comfortable silence stretched between them, charged with the quiet awareness of closeness.
Their gazes softened. Then, almost without thinking, Cedric leaned in. His lips met hers in a soft, lingering kissâsweet and loving. A perfect greeting to the day.
It was precisely at that tender moment that Hermione gasped, dropping her stack of books from her arms with a loud crash.
âAnnalise Potter!â she hissed, scandalized. Her eyes darted between the two of them, wide with disbelief. âWere you just⊠kissing? You and Diggory? On the library floor? Before dawn?!â
Annalise jolted upright, cheeks flushed. âHermione! Itâs notâwell, it just⊠happened,â she stammered, flustered.
Cedric sat up too, rubbing the back of his neck. âErâmorning, Hermione. Bit of a long night, actually.â
Hermione stared. âA long night?â Her gaze sharpened. âWhat did I miss?!"

I fear when I look at photos of him on Pinterest my stomach literally does a flip
perhaps we both like exactly the same music BUT i like it in a much deeper, more alternative, more indie way than you, making me cooler and superior by far. (delusion)
She was happy to see her, but they werenât talking.
She almost jumped on her to hold her, but they werenât talking.
She felt butterflies when she saw her performing again, almost mesmerized by her voice, but they werenât talking.
She felt pure happiness upon learning of her pregnancy, but they werenât talking.
She couldnât help but smile foolishly at seeing her so oblivious, but they werenât talking.
She couldnât resist giving a goodbye hug longer than necessary, but they werenât talking.
She didnât think twice about offering to stay and help her during the last month of pregnancy, but they werenât talking.
She refused with an overwhelming urge to shout yes at the top of her lungs, but they werenât talking.
When her daughter was born, she considered the name Emily, but even so, they still werenât talking.
When she learned she had conceived the baby, all her desire to continue the tour disappeared, and an abrupt urge to cross the Pacific arose, but even then, they still werenât talking.
And they never really spoke again. Not like old days. Ever.
WHAT WAS THAT ME DOING ANGST STEMILY?????? yea that's EXACTLY what it was.
Happy international friendship day to my best friend!!! (He has no idea who I amđ)
Oh hell yeah. So much better. He may have issues but nothing that my delusional self canât try and fix
